peer agreement (net): +2| "taarof" into "politeness"? Taarof/Courtesy Explanation: It is a unique concept which is often transliterated since no suitable English equivalent exists. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taarof The problem with translating taarof into politeness or similar terms is that such terms deal with the broad concept of etiquette and respect, but taarof is a particular system by means of which etiquette or respect is shown, and does not encompass the entire concept. That said, context matters. If, for instance, a sentence like "تعارف نمیکنی که" was to be translated within a dialogue, a rendering like "you're not trying to be polite, are you?" seems like a decent substitute. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2021-01-13 08:18:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "you're not just trying to be polite, are you?" کلمۀ just جا افتاده بود. |
